Luckily, I know a solution that’ll make cleaning it a breeze. Promising review (it's long but worth it): "I HATE cleaning my oven, and this is evident by the fact that I won't do it until it fills up with smoke when baking. I bought new appliances and I was meticulous about keeping the stove/oven clean by not using them. Well, when you're a mom, that kind of doesn't work, so I made sure to not have anything splash on the stove or in the oven when cooking and to immediately clean anything that got by me. That also only lasts so long when I work long hours, so I used to tell myself, "You'll clean it tomorrow". As you all know, that's code for someday. Weeks went by, and my stove needed cleaning, and I found the handy self-cleaning button. Let me tell you, that worked....the first time. Got on Amazon and read the product description and instructions, and then went straight to reviews on multiple self-proclaimed "best oven cleaners". This one was the one I decided to put my hard-earned money on, and it paid off! I sprayed everything the night before, and I was ready with my gloves and mask, but I didn't need them. There was no splash back when spraying and no overwhelming smell. Got up the next day, opened the oven, and 30 minutes later, it was brand new. I was so happy, and this is my go-to. I use it about once a month and do the self-clean in between. I've used it on the racks of my little toaster oven as well and the grime comes right off. I've included a before and after cause, I know pictures are worth a thousand words." —Sandra Stephens This includes the scrubber tool and two refills. Promising review: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy and the normal size of a Magic Eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne Get it from Amazon for $12.94 (also available in a pack with two scrubber tools and six refills). Promising reviews: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW, it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles, and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor Picture 3: After Cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" —Laura "Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store-bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I was in shock. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $14.77+ (available in three sizes). This is made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel. Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small biz that sells tools to make weeding easier. Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG The double-sided cleaner can be used with the extended handle or as a handheld brush, and can be used either wet or dry. It's also reusable — just rinse it clean and hang dry between uses. Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off of the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished, I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." —BonjourBeautyByAmy It's safe to use on all sealed floors, including hardwood, marble, tile, and stone. Promising reviews: "I hate mopping. I love the Shark Steam and scub. I have tried many different products over the years, always looking for an easier way to mop. The steam and scrub is by far the easiest product I’ve ever used. I was able to clean all my tile rooms in less than an hour. The power and steam were perfect, having the long cord was great. When I washed the pads in the washer they came out like new. I highly recommend this product." —Arizona "I have four kids and two dogs and have struggled to keep my hardwood floors looking clean. This steamer takes minutes to use. It warms up in seconds and instantly has my floors spotless and without excess water. They dry quickly. Then simply throw the cleaning pads into the wash on a gentle cycle and air dry. I wish I had bought this years ago!!" —Valerie Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in four styles). The cleaner is free of phosphorous and ammonia. Promising review: "This stuff works great! I used it on my windows and glass doors, and it made the job quick and painless. Just hook it up to the hose, spray, and rinse — it’s way faster than scrubbing by hand. The glass came out streak-free and clear, which is exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend this if you’ve got a lot of outdoor windows or glass surfaces to keep clean. It saves so much time and effort, and the results speak for themselves. 💡Pro Tip: Clean on a cloudy day if you can—direct sunlight can cause streaks before the spray dries." —Jeff Bennett Get a two-pack from Amazon for $23.99 (also available as an eight-pack). Check out a Tiktok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action. Promising review: "I would give this product more stars if I could. I am a busy mom and my microwave often gets pushed to the end of my never ending to do list. So much so that I would have been too embarrassed to show anyone how gross it had gotten. I finally ordered this with the hope that it would at least help make the job a little bit easier. I was AMAZED! Seriously, the hardest part of the entire experience was trying to get the little mama’s head off to fill it and that only took a minute to figure out. I followed the directions carefully and then used a sponge to wipe off the grease and food bits. My microwave looks brand new. I will probably use a microfiber cloth next time though because the sponge pushed the mess around and wasn’t needed to scrub at all. Also because I tried it out right away, that meant that I didn’t have any kind of essential oils or lemon juice to add to the vinegar and water mixture but honestly the smell wasn’t too bad, but it might be an issue for someone very sensitive to the smell of vinegar. If you dread cleaning your microwave, order this, I’m telling you it really does work wonders!" —M.J Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in four styles). Promising review: "I don’t usually write reviews, but this product is amazing. I’ve struggled with stains in our toilets because of well water. I’ve tried product after product, elbow grease, and straight bleach, but could never completely get the mineral stains and lime scale off. I found this and decided it was worth a try. It is a miracle worker!!! I removed all the stains from five toilets within 45 minutes. No scratches, and I still have a third of the original pumice — it’s durable and well worth the small cost of the product. I’m a customer for life!!" —Kimberley B. Get it from Amazon for $13.75 (also available in packs of two, four, six, and 12). Promising reviews: "If you hate scrubbing the toilet bowl like I do, then this product is for you. The bleach only goes into the bowl of water, not the tank, so it doesn't make your tank parts disintegrate. Don't get me wrong; you still have to clean your toilet seat and stuff, but this keeps the bowl itself sparkly clean! Just love it!" —S.L. Beason "Best purchase of 2023! I've been using these on all my toilets for 60 days now, and this is my review. My toilets generally get a hard water ring around them within a few days of cleaning. It was infuriating, and I found myself cleaning toilets literally 2-3 times a week just to get rid of that little ring around the water line. These were so cheap I figured, why not, so I bought three of them and OH MY GOODNESS THEY WORK!!!!!! I've had these installed on all three of my toilets for 60 days now, and from what I'm seeing, I should be able to clean my toilets maybe once every two months now. I am so happy. If you have hard water buildup issues, do yourself a favor and buy one of these, try it on a single toilet first, just to be sure, but I think you will be happy :)." —nima bean BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds." Promising review: "If I could give this product 6 stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." —Morgan Willis Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four styles). Promising reviews: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! Wishing I’d bought one years ago, when my son was born. We don’t even have pets, but this has been an amazing machine to clean our sofa, mattresses, car seats, stairs — everywhere that has seen spills over the years. I hate cleaning, but I actually enjoy using this — it’s so easy and fun to use! Thank you, Bissell designers." —April Bond "Pet owner life saver. This machine is great, and I like that it does upholstery as well. It’s so easy to use, and it minimizes the yuck factor of dealing with pet stains. That’s important to me because I hate tackling cleaning jobs like this. It’s compact and easy to store in a small space. The cord is nice and long, and it’s not too heavy. It saves having to get an expensive cleaner for the occasional accident. YouTube has some great tips on video." —Zona lady Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (also available in a deluxe or mini styles in three colors). It also works for non-pet stains like ink, soda, coffee, and more. Promising review: "WOW! Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the promise of these pads, but I bought them just to try them out. THEY WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL! Seriously. I have some stains that are 1.5–2 years old. I've tried everything to get them out. I put these pads on the stains (two to cover the spot), let them sit for about an hour, pulled them up, and the stain was gone. I truly couldn't believe it. The pad was yellow. Somehow, the old urine was soaked up into the pad. My carpet looks like new. I couldn't recommend these any higher for what I wanted and what I got. Wish I could give this more than 5 stars." —Matt Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.59 (also available in a pack of 40). Promising review: "I clean my dryer vent after every single use. I was shocked to see so much lint and dust come out! It was very simple to use and it really works! I kept one for myself and gave the other to my daughter." —Shari Schmidt Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three styles and as a three-pack). Promising reviews: "I bought this product after seeing it on BuzzFeed. I wasn't sure it was going to work, but I took the chance as I hate scrubbing my shower grout. I was surprised that it actually worked. The application was easy. The rinse-off was easy, and I was left with the whitest looking grout! Ten out of ten would buy again!" —JAMIE A "I CANNOT emphasize enough that this stuff works MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had taken before photos, because when I say magic, I mean UTTER WITCHCRAFT. The caulking around my tub was staining and moldy, but a little hit of this, and it was GLOWING WHITE like we had just recaulked. I recommended it to my aunt, whose house was built in the 1970s, so her tub caulking stains were over 40 years in the making, and she was going to pay someone to come in to strip the caulk and do it over new. I told her no need — just use some of this stuff! Worked like witchcraft AGAIN!!!! Her caulking is also glowing white now, and she's recommending it to HER friends now!!! This stuff is so good you'll recommend it to everyone you know. No caulking stains are too deep for this!!!!!!" —Amazon Customer Psst — this is designed to remove the stains left behind by mold and mildew, so if the spot you're cleaning still has mold and mildew growth, you can spray some RMR-141 Disinfectant on there first, then follow up with this! Promising review: "Holy moly guys.. this stuff is AMAZING. I have a cheap plastic tub-shower combo in my rental apartment, and I've tried everything to clean the mold and mildew buildup. Countless hours of scrubbing and money on different products. I've even considered replacing it on my own dime. I sprayed this product, and without any scrubbing, it all disappeared! I was so happy. The real test was my washing machine. It had built up mold on the rubber gasket around the door. Another thing I've spent time and money on to get clean without any results. I sprayed a little and let it sit for 20 minutes, and when I checked, it was almost completely gone! I wiped it up, sprayed a little more, and it came back in 20 minutes, and it was like new. The only warning: if you use it in a closed space like a bathroom, turn on the vent, window, fan, and use a mask because the smell is strong. Aside from that.. I am a customer for life. So glad I came across this product." —Dennise Delgado Get a two-pack from Amazon for $25.95 (available in three sizes and sold individually). Here's what BuzzFeeder Maitland Quitmeyer has to say about it: "I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink, and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup, and the coffee water just lingers in your sink, and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here." Promising review: "Holy banana peppers! This stuff ROCKS! I hate cleaning. You clean, and stuff looks okay and smells nice for like an hour, and then it's as if you've never cleaned. We have a deep stainless steel sink that I love, except for the cleaning. It never looks clean, so cleaning it isn't exactly rewarding. I mean, I clean it because germs, pandemic, etc, but I don't like anything about it. I saw this on some BuzzFeed "things you should buy on Amazon" and ordered it. And ignored it. Now, as there's a quarantine, even as an essential worker, I really have no excuse not to clean. Sigh. I splooshed some in the sink, like I did with Barkeeper's Friend liquid, and scrubbed away as usual. However, when I went to rinse, it was all sparkly and shiny, and the water beaded up! I seriously made my husband and daughter come into the kitchen to look at my sparkly sink! This is the cleanest this sink has ever been, and I seriously LOVE this product! Off to order more before you all read my review and discover its true awesomeness. I didn't take any pictures before because why the hell would I do that, but believe me, the difference is amazing!!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two sizes, larger packs, and in a kit with cleaning pads). The microfiber dusting head is completely removable and machine-washable. Promising review: "This sucker is LOOOONG. It's also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldn't reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what I did in no time at all with this duster, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, I got the whole job done in just a few minutes. Seriously, you can wipe down all the webs that have been built — all without standing directly beneath the duster! The extra length also means no unexpected guests are going to drop down your shirt while you're evicting them. And I'm perfectly okay with that." —M. C. Payette Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (also available with extra attachments). Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic they are perfect and dust free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" —DayDreamer Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs and in a pack of two and eight). Promising review: "I have three blinds in my kitchen and it usually is a half-day event for me to clean them, hence, I don't do it as often as I should. This blind cleaner is magic. It's so easy to use and it cleans so well...and so fast. I was able to clean all three blinds today in 30 minutes! Thank goodness it came with several microfiber sleeves because I ended up using all of them. You have to use a bit of muscle to apply pressure so the brush sleeves are flush against the blinds, but it's very easy to do. After you're done, pop the sleeves in the washer and you're good to go. I can't stop looking at my blinds now. They look brand new! Amazon product. I highly recommend!!!" —Lynn Get a pack of one wand and five sleeves from Amazon for $6.99. Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS Promising review: “I started getting white streaks all over my dishes; that never happened before. I thought it was my detergent and changed it, but no difference. Clean dishes with this weird white film on them. I'd wash them by hand, then put them back in the dishwasher, and white film again! Then I did an internet search to figure out what was going on (a dishwasher is an incredibly simple piece of machinery) and found this! Bought it. Used it. My dishes are clean again!” —Carey Holzman Get a pack of six from Amazon for $7.49 (also available as a pack of 12 and 36; each tablet lasts a month). Promising review: "So glad I found these!! I could not get the mildew smell out of my front-load washer. I regularly used bleach or vinegar/baking soda to clean it, but the smell never fully went away. I've tried the Tide washing machine cleaners without much luck, either, not to mention they are expensive. I tried Affresh as soon as it arrived. I did have to use three tablets in a row to fully get rid of the smell the first time, but my washer smells great!! No odor! I am a customer for life! Now I just use one tablet each month and have had no more odor problems." —Michelle Get six tablets from Amazon for $11.98 (also available in a pack of five and 12). This also works on other moldy areas, like grout lines and window frames. Promising review: "OMG, it worked. I've tried everything under the sun to get rid of mold on the door seal/bellows on my clothes washer. Nothing made a dent. I put this on and left it for the next day. When I looked there was nothing to wipe off and no evidence that there was any mold ever. I highly recommend this product." —Peter Callinicos Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four sizes and as a two-pack). A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match. Promising reviews: "This plus a Scrub Daddy is a cleaner's heaven. This stuff is amazing. I like this way more than the spray version of it, I think the clay deep cleans way better and I don't have to use as much. It smells kind of like clay, too, but it's not a bad smell. I've always hated cleaning the oven but this makes it an ease." —Jaiden "Had stains in the bathtub I could not remove for years. First time using this, the stains are gone. Pretty easy to use with Scrubb Daddy. I hate cleaning. This is a miracle product for me. And no I did not get paid to write this review. If you want stains gone from your bathtub use this. Your life will be made so much easier. Don't believe me. I don't care. Your loss, not mine." —Patricia C Tinney Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (also available as a pack of two and three). Promising review: "Ok so I jumped on the garbage disposal bandwagon so late but so happy I did. You know how sometimes there could be a weird smell in your kitchen and you can’t figure out where it’s coming from if everything else is clean?? It’s coming from your drain!! These really help freshen up everything and keep your drain smelling as fresh as possible and are SO easy to use! They go on once a week and you have nice clean drains without funky smells coming from them. Lastly loveeee the price so I plan to be a customer for life." —PERLA GUTIERREZ Get a bag with four packets from Amazon for $3.40 (also available as a two-pack). The plant-based, lavender-scented cleaner comes with a microfiber cloth for you to use on your appliances, and reviewers say you only have to use a little bit of the cleaner to clean your entire fridge or oven, which means one bottle will last you a long time. Promising review: "I did not think I could ever get excited about a cleaning product because in all honesty I never have...I just clean but this is the first time ever I got so excited after seeing the finished results of cleaning all my stainless steel appliances. They came out so beautiful, and the scent was pleasant, and knowing it is all natural just made it even better. I am sold for life on this product and will never use anything else. I am definitely going to check out their other products now." —LAT71 Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two sizes and as a two-pack). The set comes with a 2-inch flat brush, a 4-inch flat brush, and a round brush. The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. The drill isn't included, but you can get a basic Black and Decker one here. Promising review: "I thought my hard water stains would never come off my shower doors, but I bought this awesome brush set, and it's amazing! I’ve tried all the hacks — drier sheets, clean erasers, lemon, vinegar — nothing works like this brush! I used Zep shower cleaner with it! In the picture, the side on the right is the part of the door I cleaned, and I still have to clean the left side." —Traci D. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors and stiffness levels, as well as variety packs). Promising review: "Does it work too good??? Lol. No, it works great! But, it does make the rest of the concrete look sad. I park in my neighbor's driveway (not important why) and obviously never want to be rude and stain it. But, the other day I look and there is an oil spill. A big one. (I had recently gotten an oil change and they didn't secure the plugs correctly!) So, I put down baking soda, let it absorb. Next step, Dawn and scrubbing. Nope. Didn't work. So, I researched and got this product. Test spot was perfect! So, I did the other two spots and the rest of the big spill. Small ones came out easy next day. I didn't think the big spot worked because it was still a bit moist when I started brushing. So, I just planned to do it another day. But, when I looked the next day, rinsed everything off, used the brush to get rid of the last bit — gone. Truly an excellent product and I'm very grateful it worked because I would hate to stain my neighbor's driveway." —Me Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner. I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain, to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (also available as a two-pack). This is safe for all pipes, but shouldn't be used on toilets or garbage disposals. Promising review: "My shower drain is the absolute worst! I live in a really old house, and the twisting and turning of the pipes makes it ridiculously difficult to snake or anything like that, so I have to resort to using Drano-like products. Speaking of Drano, I have used every single one of their products out there, and nothing works! I’ve tried really expensive hair de-clogger products. NOTHING has worked until this!! Seriously, I can’t believe I’m writing this detailed a review on a liquid/gel hair clog eliminator, but I’m so amazed at how quickly this product works at unclogging my drain. Fifteen minutes later, and no more water above my ankles! "Yes, I do have to redo it every month or two, because of course it gets clogged again with new hair and gunk. For the price, I’m willing to pay for it monthly forever to keep the problem abated." —Weston16 Get it from Amazon for $5.18+ (also available as a two-pack). To use, simply place the cleaning pod in place of your coffee and brew a large cup, then follow-up with a water-only cycle. They're also designed to Quick & Clean is a small business that specializes in coffee machine cleaning products. Promising review: "I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, lucky. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." —Lauren Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a 12- and 18-pack). Promising review: "This worked so well!! After a few weeks of unplanned neglect, our pool was starting to grow algae and turn green and murky. We don't have a Leslie's or any other type of pool supply store close to us, and delivery for some reason wasn't an option for what I usually buy in-store. I ended up buying three of these and pouring them straight into the pool. After some daily brushing, running the filter for 4 hours a day for a few days, and cleaning the filters (which I would highly recommend for those trying to bounce back from algae growth), our pool is back to crystal clear and algae-free! Needless to say, this will now be part of the weekly maintenance!" —Amazon Customer You run your bath, add the cleaner, watch the gunk emerge, drain your bath, and then clean off the gunk! Promising review: "OMG. I literally screamed when I used this stuff for the first time. I have a Jacuzzi tub in my bathroom and love my little spa days at home. I will admit I have never cleaned the tub inside out, though, so I bought this on a whim. Instantly, the nasty residue started forming! This stuff WORKS. Look at all this grossness that came out of my tub after the first treatment. I am going to do another treatment tomorrow to see if it's all gone. All I know is, the proof is in the photos. Now I plan to use this stuff once a month for maintenance because it was disgusting to think I was relaxing in water with all that junk floating around in my tub pipes!!!! I'm a customer for life!" —VegasLou Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes, as a pack of two, and in a concentrated formula). * I’ve Written About Cleaning For *13 Years*: I Actually Use These 21 Effective Tips * Things That Will Give You Home The Deep Clean Of Its Life * Products Parents Swear By For Keeping Their Homes (Mostly) Clean And Organized * Stop Procrastinating On Cleaning Your Bathroom, And Use These Products * Places You Should Probably Clean And Definitely Haven't * People Who “Hate” Cleaning Swear By These Products, And You Will Too * Products That’ll Clean Your House On The *Outside* Plus, laundry detergent for sensitive skin and finds from Walmart.
